What's my home
worth in Cedar City?
A real number from a local agent who has lived here twenty years, not a Zestimate guess. Real Iron County MLS comps from Fiddlers Canyon, Cross Hollow Hills, Old Sorrel Ranch, Meadows at Iron West, Cedar Highlands, and every other Cedar City pocket. About 4 minutes to fill out. Free, no obligation, no signup wall.
Why Zillow and Redfin miss in Cedar City specifically.
Utah is one of twelve non-disclosure states. When a home closes in Cedar City, the sale price is not filed with the Iron County recorder and not entered into any public record. Buyers and sellers can even pay a fee to keep the price off the MLS itself.
National automated valuation models pull from public sale records first. In a non-disclosure state, that input simply does not exist. The algorithm is left guessing from tax assessments, square footage, and outdated comps. That is why the Zestimate on your phone can swing by tens of thousands month to month with no real change in the market.
What drives Cedar City home values right now.
Cedar City is not one market. A custom build in Cedar Highlands trades on a different curve than a Fiddlers Canyon townhome, which trades on a different curve than a 1980s rancher near SUU. Your specific pocket matters more than any city-wide average.
SUU enrollment economy
Southern Utah University is the largest employer in Iron County and the steadiest demand engine. Student housing, faculty housing, and entry-level resale all draft off enrollment. Homes inside the campus walk-shed, in the historic core, and in starter neighborhoods like Cedar Knolls and the Coal Creek area trade on different fundamentals than the suburban east side.
Brian Head and the festival pull
Brian Head Resort 30 minutes up the canyon, the Tony Award-winning Utah Shakespeare Festival on the SUU plaza, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and the Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games combine into a real second-home and relocation thesis. California, Nevada, and Wasatch Front buyers shop Cedar City as a more affordable base than St. George with mountain access St. George does not have.
New construction supply
Old Sorrel Ranch Phase 5, Fiddlers Canyon, Cross Hollow Hills, Meadows at Iron West, and the D.R. Horton communities are adding inventory on the east and northwest sides. Builder rate buydowns and upgrade incentives compete directly with comparable resale. If you live within a few miles of an active build-out, that supply matters more to your number than the city-wide median.
Expanding inventory
Cedar City single-family active inventory is up about 20 percent year over year, from 969 to 1,165 homes on the market. That is more selection for buyers than at any point since 2019. Sellers are still closing at 99 percent of list, but only when the list price is built from current comps. Aspirational pricing sits, gets reduced, and trains buyers to expect a discount.
Lot, view, and irrigation
Bench views toward the SUU campus and the cinder cones, west-side mountain vistas from Fiddlers Canyon and Sunset Canyon Estate, secondary irrigation rights, and lot size all swing the number meaningfully. Two homes with identical floor plans can sell hundreds of thousands apart based on which direction the great room faces and whether the yard has share water.
Enoch and Parowan competition
Enoch directly north and Parowan twenty minutes up I-15 both pull buyers under $500K who would otherwise shop Cedar City. Enoch closed 137 single-family sales at a $450K median in the trailing twelve months. That is a real alternative for the same buyer pool. Pricing a Cedar City home above the comp-supported number means losing those shoppers to a neighboring town.
Most Cedar City homes trade between $260K and $700K.
Custom estates in Cedar Highlands and acreage builds out toward Kanarraville and New Harmony run well above. Entry-level townhomes and condos sit below. Where your specific home sits inside that band depends on neighborhood, view, lot, irrigation, condition, and the six drivers above.

Cedar City home value FAQ.
Why does Zillow show a different number for my Cedar City home?
Utah is a non-disclosure state. Sale prices are not recorded in public records, and Utah property owners can even pay a fee to remove their sale price from the MLS itself. Zillow and Redfin build their estimates from a much thinner dataset in Utah than they do in California or Texas.
Zillow publishes a 7.06 percent median error rate for off-market homes nationwide, and the error runs higher in non-disclosure states. On a $460,000 Cedar City home, that is a possible $32,000 swing in either direction. The Zestimate is a starting point, not a number to price a listing against.
How accurate is the Scott Buehler valuation?
The questionnaire feeds a real comparative market analysis. It combines current MLS sold data from the Iron County board, active and pending comps inside your specific neighborhood, condition and upgrade notes you provide, and on-the-ground context (HOA, view, lot quality, irrigation rights, school zone, proximity to SUU or the festival corridor).
Across the trailing twelve months ending 5/1/2026, the average Cedar City seller closed within 99 percent of original list price. That is what real pricing looks like when the number is built from comps, not an algorithm. The valuation gives you a pricing band, not a single number, because no honest agent should pretend a home will close at exactly one price.
Do I have to list my home to get a valuation?
No. The valuation is free, no listing agreement, no obligation, no pressure. Plenty of Cedar City homeowners use it to plan a refinance, contest a property tax assessment, settle an estate, plan a 1031 exchange, or just sanity check the Zestimate they keep seeing on their phone.
If you do decide to sell down the road, you already have a baseline number and you already know who I am. That works for both of us.
How long does the questionnaire take?
About 4 minutes. Address, basic specs, any recent upgrades, condition notes, and where you are in your timeline.
From there I pull the comps myself. Most people get a written pricing band back within one business day, faster if you flag it as time-sensitive.
Is there a cost?
No cost. No signup wall. No marketing list. The valuation is how I introduce myself to Cedar City homeowners, and it is genuinely free whether or not you ever decide to sell.
What is the median home price in Cedar City right now?
Across the trailing twelve months ending 5/1/2026, single-family homes inside Cedar City city limits sold at a median of $460,000 with an average of $486,756 across 657 closed sales. Townhomes sold at a median of $314,000 and the small condo segment at $243,000. Single family and townhome both closed at roughly 99 percent of original list.
Days on market is up modestly year over year: single family went from 65 days to 77 days, and active inventory has expanded about 20 percent. That signals a healthy, balanced market with more selection for buyers than in 2022 and 2023, but pricing still has to be tight. Source: Iron County Board of REALTORS via FlexMLS.
Does my neighborhood matter more than the city average?
Yes, more than almost any other factor. Cedar City is not one market. Fiddlers Canyon trades on a different curve than Cross Hollow Hills, which trades on a different curve than Cedar Highlands, which trades on a different curve than the older homes around SUU and Coal Creek.
New construction supply at Old Sorrel Ranch, Meadows at Iron West, and the D.R. Horton communities competes directly with comparable resale in nearby pockets. Lot size, view orientation toward the SUU bench or the cinder cones, irrigation rights, and short-term rental considerations near the Festival district all move the number meaningfully. A city-wide $460,000 median tells you nothing about a specific home in Cross Hollow Hills or a custom build in Cedar Highlands. Your specific pocket is what the questionnaire focuses on.
